It’s weekend. So before we go out and have some guilty pleasure, let’s go through some quick movie pleasure first. The international trailer for GAMER has hit the web and you can watch it using the media player below. It looks mostly the same as the domestic version except the footage at the beginning. The idea of playing an actual human being in a video game setting is will be this movie’s main attraction. While the ladies would see it because of Gerard Butler.
SYNOPSIS:
In the not too distant future, Kabel (Gerard Butler), a death row inmate, has unwittingly become a pop culture hero. Every week, millions worldwide tune in online to watch him and hundreds of other convicts battle in Slayers, an ultra-violent multi-player online game invented by technological genius Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). To the wealthy young gamer who controls his every move, Kable is just a sim (simulation) character. To the resistance group that opposes Castle’s games as high-tech slavery, he is a critical element in their battle to take down the inventor. Caught in the crosshairs of two opposing forces and under the command of a teenager’s remote device, Kable must use his extraordinary fighting skills to escape the game, bring down Castle and overthrow the system.
GAMER opens September 4th, 2009
